Lea Michele, Dianna Agron and more pay tribute to Cory Monteith

On the four-year anniversary of his death, Cory Monteith’s family and friends remember him with sentimental messages.

Lea Michele, Cory’s girlfriend and Glee co-star, tweeted an old photo of herself and Cory with the caption, “We miss you C…”. Attached to it, was an image of Lea wearing Cory’s letterman jacket from Glee while holding a black-and-white Polaroid photo of the couple.

Cory Monteith’s co-star and close friend, Dianna Agron, also shared a sentimental message with her followers on the anniversary. “I miss seeing you every day on set, your supreme kindness and generosity,” she writes. “I miss every bit of you.”

Close friend and Glee co-star, Harry Shum Jr, marked the anniversary with a simple “miss you, bud” accompanied by a picture of the two.

Others who remembered Cory by posting a message online include Kevin McHale, Jenna Ushkowitz, Heather Morris and more.
